[WAR] The Phoenix Battalion: Kicking Butt and Cheating Death!

[Neo Emolga]

It happens Neo. I happen to be in a time where my creative ability to write is kinda... not there. Which is a shame. The ideas are there, but not the motivation. I can do the RP because, I guess, I don't have to try as hard.

That, and I'm barely interacting with anyone. Trying to start getting involved, though!

As painfully hard as it is for me to admit, I actually seem to do much, much better if I mostly lone wolf in an RP and just interact a little bit here and there, but have the freedom to come and go as I please. In Team Aqua, it was a very "hey, what is it you're planning? That's cool, have fun doing it! We'll meet up later with our worked on and built up stuff and go nuts!" And I loved that, it was an easy and very free-going method that worked for everyone.

For me, it's been mainly about time. Glory be, I have so little of it and the truth is, when you're a WAR Leader, that's going to be your big focus during the entire WAR, and actual participation is going to be on the low end. I haven't been doing all that well either, so I think even in the stuff I have been participating in, I haven't really done the best job that I could do. XP

Referrals/Promotion: the leader is awesome I know this from experience and I LOVE this idea of a mercenary approach to ideals that I so strongly agree with.
Team Banner: Yes please!!!

Custom battalion banner please:

Pokemon:Articuno

If you don't mind a request, could you have Articuno and Moltres fighting with their elemental attacks clashing in the middle and purple surrounding the blast? no particular pics to integrate I just like that idea. I used to run largely in the RP, this time I'm gonna focus mostly on writing 'cause I don't know how much time ill have to devote to the RP ill see though which one I end up doing most...

Hey Rose, how's it going!? Welcome to the crew and hope you enjoy our cookies. :D

I'll admit, I've been horribly, horribly behind on the custom banners (working fulltime and volunteering to be a WAR Leader, Team Leader, and Judge all in the same year = dead free time), but I'll see if there's something I can do. We still have one week left of WAR, so there's still a little time to get in on the action.

[Rosenstar2013]

No problemo Neo just glad to be able to jump in even if it is so late in the season. if you somehow manage to get around to the banner i shall use it proudly. If not, no biggie.

Pep talk time!

TEAM RANKINGS

Team Trainer - 48.5
Phoenix Battalion - 46
Jupiter Mining Corp. - 44.5
The Prism League - 18.5
Team Yoga Bears 2 - 16.5
Team Magma - 15
Team Awesome - 11
Team swiftgallade - 1

We're only 2.5 points behind Trainer at the moment, and given this is the LAST WEEK OF THE WAR, we can definitely still win this! I'm urging and cheering for everyone to give this one last big push to capture victory! You guys have been doing a really, REALLY awesome and epic job at everything and I love and appreciate all the great work you guys have been doing!

JMC did a heck of a job playing catch up during Week #3, and they're only 1.5 points behind us, so I definitely wouldn't underestimate them either. But, if we put on our game faces and kickass gear, we'll come out on top.

WE. CAN. ROCK. THIS!!!

Good luck to all of you in Week #4!

I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with Creative Writing. I haven't been able to participate at all this year, and considering how I dominated the section last year (I'm not trying to gloat here, but I mean, the points do speak for themselves, and there was a lot of competition!), I'm feeling very... inadequate, I suppose? It's been a nasty combination of work, depression (specifically, "lack of motivation" kind), and just how difficult the parameters are. I'm used to having some constrictions, but not that many ^^' Just as I have trouble writing with a word limit, it seems I shut down when it comes to having too many restrictions to follow as well.

Meh... I guess this year was just a bad year for me. Been having trouble finish short stories I start, too, so it's not just here.

Sorry for not being much use this year, guys! I said I wasn't going to overstretch myself like I did last year, but I think I took it too far >.>' I'm doing what I can for RP, though.

"Doing what I can for RP" is a total understatement considering you brought home the gold every week! How could anyone complain about that? You're doing great! For me, RP has been pretty much my writing core area. I figure even though participation is low, I can still keep going as a lone wolf.

And hey, sorry if you found working with the CW parameters to be hard. They were mainly meant to be fun, a test to see how well people used them, and it's really interesting to see the way two people use the same parameter for totally different purposes. And yeah, Week 4 is built to be tricky and challenging. It was my way of upping the ante from the weeks prior to that. Plus I really want to see all my favorite stuff appear in everyone's submission! I'm sure everyone's dreamed of wanting that at least once!

Don't feel bad I've done nothing but Pixel Art and tried to do Humor but we'll let's not go there.

I'm still trying to get a good idea for Humor, but I did a song last week and I'd rather shoot for something new and better. I tried to do a PXR members as Smash Bros characters thing, but it didn't seem too high on the chuckle scale so I scapped that idea. I'll think it over a bit more.

RP I'm trying to keep on top of while I did enter for Graphic Art.

I love this week's theme for Creative Writing, but I'm torn between two ideas xD I finally picked one, but... I've been feeling a bit under the weather Dx Hope I can get it done in time, though! ^^' (I started something for GA but... It's just not matching up to what I imagined Dx)

But keep the great work up, guys! :D WE CAN TOTALLY ROCK THIS THING!!!
